Welcome to the autumn edition of the Bulletin. As I write this, there is a sombre atmosphere as the funeral arrangements for Queen Elizabeth II proceed, and I want to take the opportunity to pay my respect to her and to her devotion to duty in this editorial. Although it was not unexpected, I was surprised how deeply her death affected me – I felt keenly what a historic moment the death of the longest-serving monarch in British history, and the second-longest in world history, was.
